Martinstor in Freiburg im Breisgau: photos, reviews

About

Martinstor, standing tall at 60 meters, is a striking Neo-Gothic gateway and a prominent historical structure in Freiburg im Breisgau. Originally constructed in 1202, this venerable tower has undergone numerous reconstructions, reflecting its storied past and vital role as one of the city's five defensive towers. A fascinating yet somber chapter in its history includes the 1599 execution of three women accused of witchcraft, a reminder of its tumultuous past. The Martinstor offers an impressive exterior view free of charge, and its clock tower is a captivating feature - don't miss the chance to hear it chime.

Surrounded by vibrant shopping areas and charming restaurants, Martinstor is perfect for families exploring the city, with small Bachle canals adding to the picturesque setting. Visitors can easily reach this landmark by tram, as Freiburg embraces its pedestrian-friendly atmosphere. In close vicinity, the Freiburg Cathedral, Stadt Theatre, and Munsterplatz offer further exploration.

Siamo entrati sperando di gustare la tipica torta Foresta Nera, ma purtroppo non era più disponibile. Un po’ deludente, perché in un locale in centro non dovrebbe mancare il dolce per eccellenza. Ci siamo accontentati di un’altra torta, tutto sommato buona. Il problema principale però è stato il servizio: ci siamo seduti senza che nessuno ci avvisasse che serviva prendere un biglietto, quindi abbiamo atteso inutilmente finché un altro turista non ce l’ha fatto notare. Una volta risolto, la cameriera è arrivata solo dopo circa 15 minuti per prendere l’ordine (che consisteva semplicemente in una fetta di torta e due tè), e ce ne sono voluti altri 10 per riceverlo. A fine consumazione abbiamo nuovamente aspettato a lungo per poter pagare, senza che nessuno passasse dal tavolo, nonostante il locale fosse quasi vuoto. In sintesi: i dolci sono discreti, ma il servizio lascia davvero molto a desiderare.

Interessanter historischer Ort. Witzig ist: ich habe den Nachbau in 1:87 auf meiner Modellbahn. Gibt der Geschäftszeile einen würdigen Abschluss, erhöht die Aufenthaltsqualität. Alte Gemäuer tun auch einer Großstadt immer gut. Eine Aufstiegsmöglichkeit wäre toll. gut.
